In the endless universe, in a dark space.
"Um?"
The handsome man who was investigating the dark space was slightly startled, and then a smile appeared on his face. He muttered to himself, "After so many years, someone actually passed the test?"
"Wu Shi, what happened? Did you find a way out?"
The change in the handsome man immediately attracted the attention of a burly bald man not far away, and the bald man immediately asked.
"No, just one more disciple." The handsome man shook his head.
"Wu Shi, it's already this time. What's the point of having a direct disciple? You should find a way to leave here first." At this moment, a gorgeous woman in gorgeous clothes in the distance said with a wry smile.
"Yeah, if we can't get out, those guys will take all the benefits." The handsome man nodded slightly.
After these words were spoken, the bald man and the stunning woman twitched their lips. It seems that you are aware of the current situation. If you know it, but you are still distracted, it is too unreliable.
"Let's break the formation first." The handsome man looked towards the dark space around him, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. If observed from outside the dark space, one could find that the handsome man and two other people were trapped in the dark space.
"Do you have a way to break the formation?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the stunningly beautiful woman and the bald man beside them lit up and they spoke quickly.
"I have some clues now. To be honest, I have to thank my new disciple. He gave me the inspiration." The handsome man smiled slightly.
"It seems that after this matter is settled, we will have to give you, our disciple, a greeting gift." The stunning woman chuckled.
"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of my disciple whom I have not met yet." The handsome man laughed and was not polite.
For their level, any gift would be priceless to their own disciples at that level.
…
After refining the talisman, Yang Qi directly became the master of the cave. Naturally, the old man did not dare to call himself a senior, so when he heard Yang Qi calling him senior, he hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, but soon he understood. How could a master call his puppet "senior"? Although the old man was far superior to him in terms of cultivation, he could not be careless in addressing him.
"Do you have a name?" Yang Qi looked at the old man and asked.
"My eldest brother once gave me a name, Wu Qian, and the old master has always called me that." The old man said hurriedly. Although no one had called Wu Qian by his name for many years, it had a different meaning to him. Deep down in his heart, he also hoped that Yang Qi could continue to use his name.
"Wu Qian?" Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "In that case, I will call you Uncle Qian from now on."
“Master, you can’t do that. I am just a puppet. How can I…” The old man heard this and spoke hurriedly.
"I have made up my mind. Your cultivation is higher than mine, and you are more familiar with the cave than I am. I feel a little uncomfortable with calling you by your name." Yang Qi glanced at the old man and said, "This is an order."
"This...Okay, Master." Wu Qian hesitated and smiled bitterly.
"You don't have to call me Master, just call me Young Master." Yang Qi said.
Yang Qi always felt that the title of master was strange. After all, during his thirty years of life, most of the time he was still an ordinary person on Earth, and it was somewhat difficult for him to accept the title of master. However, the title of young master was quite common even in modern wealthy families, so it was not too strange.
"Master... Young Master." Wu Qian said respectfully.
Yang Qi nodded slightly, and then asked, "You just said you have an older brother?"
"Yes, my eldest brother is in Zichen Continent. His name is Wu Hong. By the way, the master may have heard of him. My eldest brother guards the Zihuang Secret Realm." Wu Qian said.
Guarding the Purple Emperor Secret Realm
Yang Qi's face changed, and he couldn't believe it. He exclaimed, "Is your elder brother the senior from the Purple Emperor Secret Realm?"
"Young Master, have you met my elder brother?" Wu Qian was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to remember something and whispered, "Yes, young master should have been to the Purple Emperor Secret Realm. With your talent, I'm afraid my elder brother will let you accept the inheritance of the secret realm."
Wu Qian's guess was right. The Martial King Realm puppet in the Purple Emperor Secret Realm actually intended to let Yang Qi accept the inheritance of the secret realm, but he had his own path and did not accept it.
"That senior is your elder brother. I know that my master once entered the Purple Emperor Secret Realm, but I have never heard that senior mention that he has a younger brother?" Yang Qi looked at Wu Qian and asked curiously.
Speaking of which, he had a lot of exchanges with the puppet at the Martial King level in the Purple Emperor Secret Realm. He only knew that the old man had communicated with the Wu Shi Emperor for a thousand years, but he didn't know that there was another puppet at the Martial King level.
"Since the young master has met the eldest brother, he should know where the eldest brother came from." Wu Qian looked at Yang Qi and said.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. He had heard from the puppet at the King of Martial Arts realm about the origin of the Purple Emperor Secret Realm. The Purple Emperor Secret Realm remained in the Zichen Continent only for the purpose of selecting successors.
"In fact, my eldest brother's master, the Witch King Hong Qian, prepared a total of two puppets just in case. My eldest brother was sent out by the Martial King Hong Qian, and I had just started refining when the enemies of the Witch King Hong Qian arrived. The Witch King Hong Qian had to stop refining and fight the enemy. In the end, the Witch King Hong Qian was defeated and died, and my refining was interrupted and I was not born." Wu Qian said slowly.
Hongqian Witch King
Yang Qi was stunned. The Witch King is the title of a witch cultivator, which corresponds to the Martial King realm. The original owner of the Purple Emperor Secret Realm was a witch cultivator named Hong Qian. The names of Wu Hong and Wu Qian probably came from Hong Qian's name.
Through Wu Qian's words, Yang Qi also understood that when Hong Qian died, Wu Qian's refining should have just begun and had not yet been truly born.
"Later, the old master entered the Purple Emperor Secret Realm and had many exchanges with my eldest brother. Finally, he agreed to help my eldest brother strengthen the core formation of the secret realm in exchange for me, a semi-finished product at the time. Afterwards, the master refined me, and I was truly born." Wu Qian said.
I see!
Hearing this, Yang Qi also completely understood why Wu Qian called Wu Hong "big brother". If the powerful enemy had not arrived too quickly, Wu Qian should have been refined long ago. However, Wu King Hong Qian died, and most of the secret realm was destroyed and turned into a land of red sand. Wu Hong himself could not refine a puppet, so naturally he could not give birth to Wu Qian.
It was not until later that Emperor Wu Shi entered the Purple Emperor Secret Realm that he completely refined the semi-finished Wu Qian, turning it into a puppet of King Wu and giving birth to spiritual intelligence.
“However, because the old master is not familiar with the way of witch cultivation, my strength is much weaker than that of my eldest brother.” Wu Qian sighed lightly.
Although Emperor Wu Shi is a monstrous being, he chose the path of martial arts cultivation rather than sorcery cultivation. Wu Qian had already begun refining weapons, and it was already very rare that Emperor Wu Shi was able to successfully refine a Martial King Realm puppet using martial arts cultivation methods. It was reasonable that his strength was weaker than Wu Hong's.
In fact, when refining the talisman, Yang Qi already felt that Wu Qian's strength was that of a low-level martial king, probably a three-star martial king. (To be continued)
